Wild month for Hanson peaks with first HR
(MLB.com Chicago White Sox)

To say Alen Hanson`s June has been a whirlwind would be an understatement. The 24-year-old utility infielder was designated for assignment on June 2 by the Pirates, the organization he`d been with since he was 17 years old. A former top prospect, Hanson found himself on waivers, before Chicago claimed him on June 9 to fill out its infield. Wednesday night, he added another career milestone after being waived -- his first career home run.
